Meditation is an incredible experience. Not only can it ease you of stress by connecting you to the moment, but it can transform your entire experience as you notice your true inner connection to life. There are many ways to practice this, luckily, and each will probably be better suited to different people. If you'd like to experience a natural state of intense meditation fairly quickly, however, and you are not yet adept at the practice of meditation, I'll share with you some of my favorite and most powerful ways I know. Without having to practice meditation for long periods of time, you can re awaken your natural state of deep connection. All it takes is letting go and then noticing your inner state blossoming into something higher. From there, while you are in that natural state of contentment, meditation is just a choice or a point of focus.

The Sedona Method is a technique that I highly recommend for learning how to let go. Still, the following ideas can help you with this and promote the ability to meditate.

If you can just notice the stress that is keeping you from experiencing contentment in this moment, you can choose to allow it to release by reversing your resistance toward it. By fully feeling it and letting it be there for the moment instead of trying to push it away, you can allow it to move up and out. The result, often, is a feeling of contentment and relief. You might notice a sense of something higher in yourself. If you can tune into or connect with that, you will naturally be in a meditative state that is essentially free of thoughts. From there, you can deepen that by noticing any sense of energy flow within you and a greater inner connection to the world around you.

I'd also suggest considering taking any tonic herb that you feel suits you. These, especially Reishi Mushroom, are well known to promote inner contentment and the awakening of spirituality. You can find these products at our online store which offers fast, inexpensive shipping on all orders.

Additionally, as noted in other articles, cacao can be very helpful for generating a state of mind conducive to letting go and meditation. While high quality raw cacao is usually the best option, dark chocolate can also do wonders. Its love imparting qualities can often promote the ability to surrender to the moment and leave you with a lasting understanding of being in the The Now. For some though, chocolate might not be the right option and a green smoothie or green juice might fit your nutritional needs better and help you to enter a state of relaxation. Find what works for you. Again, though, these foods and herbs are aids that can help point you in the direction of meditation. They are not necessary for everyone and meditation is essentially connecting with your deeper awareness, which goes well beyond what you eat. Still, diet can play a role in allowing you to more easily access states of being conducive to meditation.
